How to choose a new TV
Choosing a TV can feel overwhelming. The good news is that it’s easier than ever to transform your entertainment at home. You’ll want to look for a set with 4K resolution and HDR (high dynamic range) to get the best viewing experience. You can find out more about why these matter here. Also look for Dolby Vision, which enhances what you see on the screen, and Dolby Atmos, which creates a richer, more immersive audio experience. The range of TV sets enabled with Dolby is growing, with sets to fit every space and budget, giving you a lot of ways to bring Dolby home.
Do I really need Dolby Vision?
Dolby Vision HDR lets your TV display more colours and dynamic contrast, which delivers brighter brights and darker darks. Both of these help to display deeper detail that draws you even further into your entertainment. If you’ve ever been frustrated by dull colours and scenes that are too dark to see, Dolby Vision may be just what you need. You can learn more about the details of Dolby Vision here.
Is Dolby Atmos worth it?
Great sound enhances your shows, films, and games. Dolby Atmos creates a spatial soundscape that positions sound in 3D space. Find out more here. With Dolby Atmos, you can hear a helicopter hover overhead. A race car can roar past you and then weave in front of you. You can hear your opponent’s footsteps as they sneak up on you in your favourite game. Dolby Atmos is available on a wide range of devices – TVs, soundbars, and headphones – letting you choose what works best for your needs and budget.
Which TVs have Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos?
Getting a set enabled with Dolby Vision or Dolby Atmos, or both, is easy. Major TV manufacturers such as Sony, LG, Hisense, Toshiba, and Philips offer TVs enabled with Dolby. Whether you’re a cinephile, a gamer, or TV-series binge watcher, there’s a TV that fits your style.
There is a TV that’s just right for you
There’s a great TV waiting for you. You’ll hear a lot of terms used, like LED, OLED, QD-OLED, QLED, and more. You can find out more about what those terms mean here. Selecting the best set for you depends on your viewing environment. LED TVs can often be brighter than OLEDs and make a great choice for a sunny room. OLEDs have exceptional contrast and near-instant refresh rates, making them ideal for cinephiles and gamers. Another thing to consider is how large a set you’ll want, which depends in part on how close you’ll be sitting. Learn more about selecting the right set for your lounge here.
You’ll also want to match your TV to your lifestyle. If you have a small space, a more compact set with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos would be a great solution for you. Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos are available at various price points and with a variety of features. If you’re a gamer, there are sets with game enhancing features that allow a faster frame rate and reduced latency. You can also integrate many TVs with home assistants, including those from Apple, Google, and Amazon. If you want to build a full-fledged home cinema, there are sets that are right for you as well.

How to get Dolby Atmos spatial sound
Life is a symphony and Dolby Atmos lets you be the conductor. Dolby Atmos is an immersive audio format that transformed the movie-cinema experience. You can now enjoy its bold, beautiful sound at home or on the go. You can learn more about Dolby Atmos here. It allows producers to create audio objects that can be placed anywhere around the listener, including in the centre, to the left or right, behind, above, or below. Creators, such as musicians and moviemakers, can use the flexibility that comes with Dolby Atmos to let you hear music, dialogue, and sound effects exactly as they intended.
Does Dolby Atmos need lots of speakers around the room?
No! Dolby Atmos can create immersive sound using just the speakers built into your TV. You can also use wireless speakers or a soundbar to add Dolby Atmos to a TV that is not enabled with Dolby Atmos or to give you access to music throughout your home. You can even enjoy Dolby Atmos using headphones, as you can learn here. And if you are a movie lover and want a home cinema with lots of speakers, Dolby Atmos will deliver a great experience for you too.
Do I need a soundbar?
You can enhance your listening with a soundbar. A soundbar is a single unit that usually contains several speakers to deliver the sound you want. You can add a soundbar enabled with Dolby Atmos to your TV to create an immersive viewing experience using spatial audio. However, many TVs are already enabled with Dolby Atmos. If your TV offers that, try it out and see if you want to expand the sound. We discuss soundbars in more detail here.
Will a soundbar work with my audio system?
Yes. Soundbars enabled with Dolby Atmos are available from many leaders in audio, including Sony, JBL, Sonos, Bose, Samsung, LG, Yamaha, and Klipsch. A soundbar enabled with Dolby Atmos lets you hear music in new ways and get closer to your favourite artist. You’ll enjoy an immersive spatial audio experience that puts you at the centre of sound that hits deep. Click here to find out more about listening to music in Dolby Atmos.
How to watch TV shows and movies in Dolby Atmos
To enjoy your favourite series and movies in Dolby Atmos using a soundbar, you’ll first need content in Dolby Atmos. That could be on a disc, on cable, or over streaming. Hooking up your disc player, cable box, or streaming device to your TV isn’t hard to do, and we have a guide here. You can connect devices directly using an ARC/eARC port or you can use a passthrough. Make sure you have cables that meet the HDMI 2.1 standard, as mentioned here, to ensure compatibility.
But Dolby Atmos doesn’t just enhance your series and films. Many soundbars feature Bluetooth, allowing you to stream content from your mobile devices and even take or make phone calls. You’ll also find soundbars that integrate with digital assistants, including those from Apple, Google, and Amazon. And if you couldn’t get tickets to see your top artists perform at Coachella, don’t worry. You can play your music through your soundbar and transport yourself to the front of the crowd with sound that dances all around you, thanks to tracks produced in Dolby Atmos. So, whether you’re a cinephile, a TV-binger, a music fan – whatever you’re into – Dolby Atmos lets you build your own personalised spatial audio experience so you’re always in the heart of the action.
